Update May 16th: The climbers voted on an extension of their
expedition. They have agreed to stay until May 31 (from the original May 27
date) in the hopes of having an opportunity to go up as the weather improves.
The last attempt past Camp 1 was not successful due to high winds. Climbers
are now resting and planning to make their way up later this week.
